Although it might seem this way at times, life is never "out to get you." In reality, Life is trying to love you. Every single experience in your life has purpose and value, for in each moment, life is trying to guide you ever closer to the truth of the Creator's love.

If you are willing to adopt this perspective you'll start to see that what appears to be a challenge today, can become a huge blessing tomorrow, that setbacks or stuck spots are there because the universe is working behind the scenes to assist you, or you need time to rest, re-evaluate, or change direction, and that a rejection today may be forcing you to embrace a kinder and more loving plan tomorrow.

When life hands a you a challenge, rejection, or disappointment, instead of throwing your hands up in the air and assuming the worst, try instead to assume the best!

In these cases imagine (for it is almost always true) that the Divine is whispering, "I have something better for you. I see a kinder path to your dreams. I see something more authentic in your heart than what you think you want. I want to give you an opportunity to grow in self love, so you'll allow Me to love you more..."

Indeed dear friends if you are willing to embrace your challenges with the understanding that they are not "out to get you" but rather "out to love you," you can sail through them with amazing grace into an even happier reality.

If you can embrace your rejections, you'll realize that life was just steering you along a kinder path.

If you can embrace your setbacks and disappointments with an attitude of, “Well, I don’t like this but I trust there is a reason," then you open up to greater possibility, ease, and grace. You may have to change direction, slow down, or listen to your guidance. In each case, a more loving path is being revealed.

Even in your darkest times, love is attempting to reveal itself. When you can't see it, ask yourself two simple questions:

“Dear Divine Love, what do you want for me now? "

"What is the best possible outcome I can imagine?”

Trust the answers you receive, in the moment, for that moment. Choose to embrace the adventure with love. When you bring love to a situation, love will be revealed.

The love that lives in all creation is always trying to guide you towards a more loving life... even when it appears to be just the opposite.
